Abstract EN:
Aragon, barres, zola, balzac, gracq, valery. Stendhal and the writers who read. Stendhal roman could be called thus. Would it mean more then, than what is seems to mean? would it say better, that one day i learnt that stendhal was a novel and not a novelist? that i wondered where it came from and where it was going to. Would it say better that, as it became a novel, stendhal got lost for ever for me. Would it say better that, reading aragon and then reading barres, reading a stendhal and its contrary, i could verify the reality of this loss? would it say better how, in balzac, i have seen the birth of the novel of stendhal? how i have seen zola refuse with all his strength to believe in this birth? how i have seen gracq, on the contrary, accept it entirely? would it say better how i have seen the novel of stendhal jeopardize valery and, almost at the same time, save aragon? would it say better how, after all, at the end of the novel of stendhal, i have discovered that there was only me? if it would like to summarize itself to grap itself, would stendhal roman mean more?
Abstract FR:
Aragon, barres, zola, balzac, gracq, valery : stendhal et les ecrivains qui lisent. Stendhal roman pourrait s'appeler ainsi. Aurait-il alors plus de sens que ce qu'il pretend dire? dirait-il mieux qu'un jour j'ai su que stendhal etait un roman et non un romancier? que je me suis demande d'ou venait ce roman et ou il menait? dirait-il mieux que, devenant roman, stendhal, pour moi, se perdait pour toujours? dirait-il mieux que, lisant aragon puis lisant barres, lisant un stendhal et son contraire, je pouvais verifier la realite de cette perte? dirait-il mieux comment, en balzac, j'ai vu naitre le roman de stendhal? comment j'ai vu zola refuser de toutes ses forces de croire a cette naissance? comment j'ai vu gracq, au contraire, l'assumer totalement? dirait-il mieux comment j'ai vu le roman de stendhal mettre en danger valery et, presque en meme temps, sauver aragon? dirait-il mieux comment, au bout du compte, a la fin du roman de stendhal, j'ai decouvert qu'il n'y avait que moi? s'il lui prenait l'envie de se resumer pour se saisir, stendhal roman aurait-il plus de sens?
